Is hinting at DTD a red flag in a new OLD longish chat? He states in bio he's looking for a real relationship and I've tried to keep it casual looking to 'meet new people', though I'm ultimately wanting a life partner.

Update
He's asked for a phone chat this evening, I said yes and gave a time.
How do I paddle out of this?

Why did you say yes lol?

just don’t answer the phone or tell him you’re busy

Just say "Sorry, I'm afraid I'm having second thoughts. It's been nice chatting with you but I'm going to leave it here. All the best"

Just unmatch. Do not give out your number.

Is it? I'r seems unnecessary, certainly - if you're not looking to meet new people, why are you on a dating site in the first place? But it doesn't imply casual sex to me. Maybe I've missed something though.

That's precisely why it means that. Because everyone doing online dating is looking to meet new people.

It also means they've intentionally not selected a relationship option when they are online dating so not looking for that.
